A/N: I only own the OC's.
Kizzyfur, wades wife, flowerpower, and xMyheartshine- Thanks for the reviews!
Sari POV
I was supposed to meet Casey for breakfast; she had already texted me to be sure. I got ready and met her downstairs; she looked like she hadn't slept at all.
"Are you ok?" I asked her and she sighed as we went to sit down in the restaurant that was attached to the hotel.
"I don't know… I'm so confused." She said and I nodded.
"Did Stu bother you again?" I asked her as she shook her head.
"No, that's the problem… Adam made me realize that I don't hate Stu… I may actually like him." She said and was surprised.
"Really?" I asked her and she nodded.
"Yeah, really… he is all that I think about." She admitted and I nodded.
"Well, what are you going to do?" I asked her as I remember that Stu and Adam had been talking about her last night. I didn't want her to get hurt.
"I don't know… I like him, but at the same time he pisses me off. I also have Drew." She said and I nodded.
"I would just see what happens. I wouldn't push anything, but if you are happy with Drew right now, then stay with him." I said and she nodded.
"Thanks, Sari." She said and I smiled.
We finished eating and left for the next city. Stu and Drew had to leave earlier, so she was riding with Tony and me.
Adam POV
I was sitting in the arena when someone sat next to me; I looked over to see Casey. I needed to talk to her anyways.
"Hey, I needed to talk to you anyways." I said and she looked at me. I put my arm around her and pulled her closer. I could tell that she was still milling over her latest revelation to me.
"What's up?" she asked me.
"I'm retiring, Case." I said and she looked at me in shock.
"What?" she asked me.
"My back is messed up again and I can't do this anymore… I'm retiring." I said and she hugged me. She knew how hard this would be for me and she knew that I never wanted to retire.
"I'm sorry, A." she said as she hugged me.
"I will figure out something else to do and move on." I said with a sigh.
"How's Jay?" she asked me and I shrugged.
"He doesn't like it either." I said and she nodded.
"I wanted to tell you so that you would know before anyone else. I also wanted to tell you that I am glad that you proved me wrong and became a diva." I said and she smiled.
"Just please don't get hurt like I did." I said and she nodded.
"I won't, old man." She said and I laughed at her.
"What's on your mind?" I asked her a few seconds later.
"Not what was there before I sat down?" She said and I smiled at her.
"I know that the last time I talked to you, probably wasn't what you wanted to hear, but I think that you and Stu would be good together." I said and she sighed.
"Is that because you have been pushing him to talk to me?" she asked me and I looked at her confused.
"Sari overheard you two last night… you were telling him to be patient. Want to explain?" she asked me and I smirked.
"Fine, I want you to be with anyone except Drew… Casey, I want you to be happy, taken care of, and I want to know that you will be ok. I won't be around anymore and I know that Stu will help you." I said and she smirked.
"Tell me, Adam, why do you care so much now?" she asked me and I looked down.
"Because, I fucked up, I know that I did… I know that you won't take me back, hell, I wouldn't want you to, but I do want to know that you will be alright. I always wanted you to be alright after the things I have done to you." I said and she nodded.
"I want you to be ok, too." She said and I smiled.
"I will be." I said.
Casey POV
We sat there and talked a little while longer; it was still surreal that Adam was done with all this. He loved it and he swore that he would never quit unless he had too. I hated it for him. I walked down the hallway and knocked on a locker room door. I waited and Jay smiled when he saw me.
"Wanted to see if you were ok." I said and he smiled at me.
"I will be in singles from now on." He said and I nodded.
I talked to him for a little while longer before going to the diva's locker room. I walked in and was greeted by Beth and Sari. We were talking about everything while they were getting ready. I was going to be able to go back into the ring in a few days; I was ready for it.
Stu POV
The show went good and I was rooming with Drew and Casey tonight, since they messed up the reservations again. We got back and Casey went to the room; Drew and I were going to have a drink in the bar with a few other people.
I was having fun, but I just wasn't into it tonight. I had talked to Adam again and he told me that Casey wasn't too happy with everything right now. I was going to back off and just there if she needed me. I knew about Adam retiring and it was a shock to a few of us. I knew that he told Casey, so no telling how she responded to it.
"I'm heading up." I said and they nodded.
"Don't piss Casey off." Drew said and I nodded as I walked away. I didn't like the fact that he thought I always wanted to piss her off.
I got upstairs and walked into the room. She was asleep in the bed; I walked in quietly and looked at her. She was sleeping peacefully as I pulled the covers over her. She moved and turned to face me.
"Stu…" she mumbled in her sleep and I didn't know if she was talking to me or not. I waited until she sighed and I realized that she was still asleep. I carefully brushed some hair out of her face and looked at her. She really was beautiful. I was watching her when I heard the keycard slide into the lock.
I quickly sat on my bed and flicked my shoes off, I untucked my shirt, and laid back on the bed. Drew walked in a second later.
"You not even going to change?" he asked me.
"I'm getting there." I mumbled.
I disappeared into the bathroom before coming out and hating the sight before me. Drew was cuddled up next to Casey as she slept. I wanted that to be me.
A/N: Please review.
